Lions Clubs International

Lions Clubs International (LCI) is the largest service organization in the world, founded in 1917 in Chicago, USA. The worldwide association brings together free-minded individuals, united in friendship, who are ready to face modern social problems and to dedicate themselves selflessly to their solutions.

Our motto: “We serve”

Lions support people who are in need of help. Whether it is projects for children and adolescents, support for the visually impaired or a catastrophic event – Lions are volunteers dedicated to those who need help. In doing so, they take care of their community members as well as those who find themselves in need across the globe.

“We serve” is our motto. Lions launch their own projects, or extend support to worthwhile projects from our partner organizations – all the while with the goal of helping people to help themselves. In addition to social awareness, Lions also encourage cultural projects and advocate international understanding, tolerance, humanitarianism and education.
